Here at Coda-UK our aim is to promote live music in mid Herts.
Occasionally we visit local
venues and photograph the live music event.
We may even write a review of the gig.

If you are involved with a
local live music venue, or gig locally, you can publicize your gigs
on this web site, free of charge. Click on this link

The only thing that we ask is that it involves the local area, specified above.
